The Formula 1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix will go down as a classic in years to come. The action started on the formation lap, with drivers battling to race in difficult conditions. Masterclass driving from the front of the grid was mirrored by mistakes, with one driver achieving a zero rating due to their antics. Here are the winners and losers of the crazy 2024 Sao Paulo GP.
Max Verstappen delivered a masterclass performance at the 2024 Brazil GP, starting from P17 and finishing in P1, showcasing exceptional driving skills and determination. His comeback after a challenging qualifying session solidified his status as one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time. Meanwhile, his rival Lando Norris, who started from pole position, failed to capitalize on his advantage and lost ground to Verstappen. Verstappen’s wet weather prowess during the race drew comparisons to legends like Schumacher and Senna, securing his position as the title favorite once again.
On the other hand, Sergio Perez’s disappointing performance at the Brazil GP further jeopardized his future at Red Bull, with a spin on the first lap and a lack of progress ultimately costing him valuable points and casting doubt on his abilities in comparison to his teammate Verstappen. This race may have sealed Perez’s fate within the team. Esteban Ocon, on the other hand, made a triumphant return to form, finishing in P2 after a tactical and flawless drive that capitalized on strategic opportunities throughout the race.
Finally, Pierre Gasly also had a strong showing at the Brazil GP, finishing in P3 after navigating challenging conditions and maintaining a clean race. Gasly’s performance exemplified his skill and determination, earning him a well-deserved spot on the podium alongside race winner Max Verstappen and second-place finisher Esteban Ocon.
